Green Inferno 

A gentle coming of age story, Water Lilies takes its time in exploring what it’s like to be a young girl trying to make sense of her sexuality in a heteronormative world.

Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes. 

Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.

This fantasy musical movie is an origin story about the title character.

Twisting what seems to be obvious setups and frameworks is what sets the story structure of Squid Game apart. I appreciate that this narrative is complex but not complicated; an easy enough plot to wrap your head around while still treating the audience like an equal participant in this social commentary
